International Consulting and Advisory Services

Global stewardship is at the heart of what I do. I have over two decades of experience conducting research and development, leading projects, writing, and advising on environmental security and governance, conservation, social and environmental entrepreneurship, and sustainable development. My regional expertise includes the US, Latin America, and Europe.

I conduct in-depth research, analysis, and writing to offer advice on radically different, creative, and innovative solutions for leaders in the private, government, and non-profit sectors, as well as for think tanks, social enterprises, and philanthropists. Highly innovative, creative, and emotionally engaged, I use higher-order critical thinking skills to offer solutions to individual, organizational, social, and environmental challenges. I answer present- and future-oriented questions that inform the development of short- and long-term goals and strategies.
